Driving through Runcorn at lunchtime and I recall Ronnie’s great Steak meal at the Runcorn Tavern. We are welcomed and quickly seated in a large dining room. The Lunch Menu has the Roast of the Day and 200g Rump Steak at $12.50. What a bargain!
Phuong Tran has the Rump Steak. I have both the Roast Meal and the Rump Steak. Our meals are served within 15 minutes and we enjoy both our Steaks and the Roast of the Day.
Service is friendly and helpful. And the Menu provides some great value for money meals. Well done guys!
Drove along the Gowen Road and saw the darkness from this tavern that reminded my last dining experience here.
It was a Fork’s promo of half price deal. Honestly, it was not the first time that I took such advantage because the CP is very high.
I always appreciate its system of free salad bar for any purchase of meal. Having said that it was slightly let down this time. Varieties of food were significantly weaker than my last visit and so as the steak.
Well, slightly disappointed but the service remains thumb-up.

We always love the Runcorn Tavern. The steak we had recently was beautifully charcoal grilled and of course the complimentary salad bar is always a hit. The staff are always very friendly. We’ll be back!

I remember the days here I would play Pub Poker.
I think they no longer hold any events which is a shame. They’ve recently gone through a redesign with new branding and Logos - yet to check them out in 2019.
Based on past experience the lunch salad buffet was ok. Lots of pokies if you’re into that sort of thing.
But bring back the poker!!!!
Decent food and prices. Staff are good. Place well appointed. Good place for family in the main restaurant area with enough space and kids game room.
Recommended.
Best pub meal i have ever had. Salad bar was crisp and fresh, the perfect accompaniment to my meal. Potato bake was seasoned well and the mushroom sauce was awesome! Will be back
We eat here all the time, never had issues finding a spot, buffet is excellent - especially the cheesy cauliflower and the steaks are the best we've found for value. Only one expensive steak house in the CBD does better - but for more than twice the price - so we keep coming back to the Runcorn!!
Came here with entertainment book, which is a good deal after all cause we came here on a Sunday where no promotion is happening, well there is one which is kids eat free. salad bar have something hot , noodles, cheese and some fruits to choose and is free and all you can eat when you order a main. (Jun, 2017)
Being a local, I do frequent this place, be it for the restaurant (with all you can eat salad and vegs buffet) or for the relaxing atmosphere bar, or the open till late pokies !!
Depends on the person, mostly the guys here are friendly~
The place is nice and clean, ample space of car park, free coffee/tea dispenser in the pokies, free cookies and pop corns too. I'd say lets go!!
One thing that is a bit of let down, hot food/kitchen finished early.
I came to the Runcorn Tavern for a birthday lunch, the group was quite large but the staff and tavern was very accommodating. I had the steak sandwich with chips and my mum had a steak. Both were really nice and all meals came out quite quickly one after the other to the whole table
The food is your typical pub food. It's not bad and just over mediocre. There is plenty of space to sit wherever you want. Last time we ordered the little bites including the pizza bites, sliders, nachos and chicken wings. It wasn't as great as I expected it to be but still not bad.
We visit Runcorn Tavern a few times a year.
The menu is quite straight forward - they have decent food at decent prices. The buffet is good as it keeps the children happy until the main meal comes out.
Service has always been friendly and efficient.
We will continue to return.
Love their salad bar, good food
Inexpensive and hassle free. I've been here a handful of times for dinner. I've ordered from the special board, got a $2 salad bar, a free drink and change from a twenty. Ordered steak from the menu and prices are comparable to a steak restaurant. They were accommodating in my request for an item change, did not charge extra. (the choice is fries or veggies, I wanted mash) Steak was cooked to my liking but was not great just ok. The mushroom sauce is not good. I've never waited long to be seated or for the meals to arrive. Very friendly service.
Buffet Breakfast. Went to breakfast with my husband Peter and beautiful daughter in law Sammie and son Frank McGrath to the Runcorn Tavern on Sunday the 10 February 2013. Absolutely fantastic all you can eat buffet breakfast, plus the best service from the most amazing chefs and staff!!!! Thank you!
Total price $47.80 for four. Discount voucher of $5 from the Runcorn fb page.
Amazing Breakfast. Went to the runcorn last Sunday as I'd heard about their breakky. Expecting something small and plain as I'd had elsewhere,but i was pleasantly suprised. For the price of around $16, the spread was great!! huge selection and was full as a boot til dinner. Seemed to be a few bookings but the staff were eager to help in anyway. Great direction you are going, Runcorn. Keep it up
Amazing place for lunch! When you buy the $12.50 lunch special which includes a glass of soft drink/beer/wine and $3 pokie change, you can purchase the salad bar for $2! Stuff yourself silly, make your own delicious Caesar salad!
Been several years since I’ve been here. I love what they’ve done to the place. The restaurant looks really grown up whilst still catering to all ages.
Came here to eat the sides as opposed to a main meal and was impressed as it was simple fare done well.
Great service, vibe and ambience. Will return.
FREE SALAD BAR BUFFET WITH MAINS! the main meals are very high quality, but the best thing is the service :) the staff i dealt with were all very friendly. especially the male server! shout out to JUSTIN for awesome service!!
the salad bar isnt as good as it was before, but to be honest its just great they opened it back up. im sure the quality of the salad bar will go up as time goes by!
all my friends and family very much enjoyed our dinner here. and they even have a vegetarian meatballs pasta which tastes great! so for that i give 5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
All the staff are FANTASTIC very welcoming.
Really impressed not what i expected and was pleasantly surprised.
Will defs be back
Baked brie cheesecake and Churros 7 dollars and DELICIOUS shut up and have my money! 🤤
Nice service and polite caring staff. The sausages and mash were great...very tasty, all for $12, and the fish n chips were the same price
Nice place for a brunch. Good varieties on the salad bar. Value for money.
Friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices.
Excellent service and delicious food. We were really happy with the variety of options.
2 main meals and an entree cost us $66.
We also liked that the dining room was quite separate to the gambling and gaming area. It felt a lot like a restaurant.
We would definitely visit again.
Lovely food. Service was quick & pleasant staff. We've been many times. Amazed the salad bar is included with the main meal cost. Heaps of variety, hot & cold. A good 'go to ' place to eat, kid friendly.
